Today in class we learned how to solve systems of equations by elimination with Notes #51. We now know three different methods, and you should be proficient with all three.

• Solving by graphing
• Solving by substitution
• Solving by elimination

The next step is to determine when each method is best used. Here's a great summary of the whole thing.

Tuesday 2/25

You spent the day reviewing and practicing solving systems of linear equations by substitution. There are no notes from today.

Homework #87: Finish the Solving Systems with Substitution 2 worksheet
Solutions: Solving Systems with Substitution 2 answer key

Also, Monday you did an elimination worksheet  we began working on solving systems using elimination. In elimination, we add two equations from the system to remove one of the variables. We then solve that equation for the single variable and finally plug it back in to find the other variable.

We used today to review graphing linear inequalities and to finish the fantasy point calculations for the first four events.

Your focus right now should be preparing for Friday's Common Assessment #6. It's hard, important, and worthy of your absolute best effort.

A study guide for CA #6 has been uploaded to the Document Locker portion of this website.

Tues 2/11

Our Olympics project carried on today with the completion of your country's fantasy draft, an estimation activity to determine how helpful and accurate your graphs are, and the results of the first couple of events will be given Wed/Thurs. Hopefully your fantasy Olympic team is off to a great start at the Winter Games!

Tonight's homework is to begin studying for Common Assessment #6, which we'll be taking on Friday. Tests 19, 20, and 21 are the best study tools for you. Don't wait to begin preparing until the last minute!


Olympic Reminders

Monday 2/10

Today in class we learned how to graph linear inequalities using Notes #48. This is always a three step process, one that you need to memorize:

1. Decide whether the line should be solid or dashed.
2. Graph the line like you would a linear equation.
3. Check a point and then shade the side that works.

Tues 2/4

We continued working on our Winter Olympics Project today in class. Today's focus was on creating your country's scoring system for each of the ten events. We'll continue that tomorrow in class and wrap it up for homework tomorrow night.

Tonight's homework is to continue your research for you country's fantasy draft. A list of the ten events in our fantasy Olympics can be found in the document linked above. You should be familiar with the top athletes/teams in each of those events to give your country the best shot in the fantasy draft. There's a ton of ranking information and projected results available online. Get creative!

If you're looking for an app to track all the countries, athletes, and results from the Olympics there are a lot out there. Our favorite so far is "Sochi 2014 Results" which has both Android and iOS versions available.

Monday 2/3

We began our Winter Olympics Project today in class. Feel free to download a copy of the packet that we'll be using and filling out in class if you'd like to take an early look at home.

Tonight's homework is to begin researching top Olympic athletes to prepare for your country's fantasy draft on Thursday.

If your country did not finish their flag in class today, your team assigned one delegate to finish it at home tonight, in preparation for tomorrow's flag raising ceremony.
